Yes, it takes too long and it will be too big when I read it.

No, take all the time you need, I like the story that comes with each post.

Other:: I will PM you what I think you should do...

OH SHIT, AN OWL!!! ((PS: IF you are thinking of doing something like this, and want to know the Template, PM me))

[Neyvn]

Alright, cool. Does this only apply to working with items/materials, or will a dwarf think his room is terrible because it was carved out, smoothed, and filled with furniture crafted by dwarves whose alignment he hates?

Also, I updated my sheet, both to fix the profile link and adjust the cost of the toolkit. On a related note, how fast do we drink?

Oh Toolkit cost hasn't changed...
And hell yes on the Room thing, its really one of those things that makes the fortress as strange and wonderful as we know it, but to get feelings like that you really really really have to hate the other Dwarf...

[IronyOwl]

Are we ditching the 500-toolkit thing and using the ones you listed? (600 for forging, 400 for carpentry, etc) That's what I meant.

And yeah, this should prove... interesting. Notably, I am going to HATE the food in this place, as Water dwarves make the best farmers, cooks, and brewers. I mean, when the booze ain't right, not much can be.

At least the furniture and entire interior will be awesome.

By the way, do dwarves react neutrally to their own affinity, or like it? Would a Metal dwarf like a chest made by a Fire dwarf more than another Metal dwarf, in other words.

Is it possible to get armour? I'll be posting an outpost guard fire dwarf soon, just wanted to check this. If not, will Winter Clothes provide the best armour value or will they restrict movement?

Instead of point you at the Weapons info at the start of the spoiler for it, I will just tell you what it says about Armour...


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....


Basicly, the Mountainhome ain't gonna waste armour on Migrants, cause there is not really anything such as secondhand armour...

Nah keeping the 500 and doing what Slade said back a bit...

You mean Earth Dwarves...

No Metal on Metal is like Perfect pitch, The Metal will like Metals work cause he knows how much work went through to even get Shoddy quality, and knows that it will get better over time, if a Beginner Metal works with an Experiance Metal, the Bonus to the roll is like 10fold to a point (over exaggeration but none the less you should get it)

[Samthere]

Oh dear
Alright, I missed that bit.

[Shade-o]

I'm a cook/brewer, by the way. Water, though. I'll try to use my brains to make delicious foods and drinks.

Oh, I also like being called Slade. Much cooler name.

As everyone was almost ready to embark, Arkon had to run back into the fortress and argue with the weaponry shopkeeper for a refund on his second shield. He had forgotten to buy any food or drink.

Spoiler: Planned weekly schedule (click to show/hide)

Not that this will not be done strictly one day at a time; e.g. the 2 days of patrol will be spread amongst the other days so we're not left vulnerable. Also note that this may not bear any resemblance to what Arkon ends up doing, but he has it written and memorised.

2.5 days combat training (may involve hunting, teaching other fortress members to be more alert by tackling them, wrestling owls, etc.)
2 days of patrol/walking exercise (combined, naturally)
1.5 days of puppycare/hauling/useful fortress stuff
1 day of philosophy/tactical study/fishing/meditation, etc.

OH??? hehehehehe, Maybe I SHOULD have posted the RP post of you guys entering the store...

“Welcome colonist, this hear be a fine store with a lot of good things to buy, please take the time to select and pick your items so that you don’t make a mistake and need to get rid of something you didn’t need. No refunds, I buy back half price, this ain’t a right it’s a privilege…”

Which is why I was very careful to include the refund in my initial buy instead of trying to ask for a refund after posting a wrong buy list
Maybe I hadn't bought the axe yet and made a trade-in deal. Maybe I was just persuasive. Maybe I was persuasive strictly because I had already bought the axe.

[Neyvn]

Maybe I was just persuasive.

Rolls dice...

You piss the Shopkeeper off. You now pay twice as much... ^_^ Ah shame...

[Samthere]

Is this... canonical?
If so...
...Arkon goes mad and jumps into a chasm to be replaced by his twin brother of the same name who is less forgetful when purchasing initial equipment. ~yay for chargen death due to unfavourable economic circumstances!

hahahah, had to actually look up the word canonical, I guessed what it meant, but still needed to double check. Nah all fun and games, besides being a twin ain't gonna stop him from thinking its the same guy... ^_^

[Samthere]

I was about to strikeout all of the above and add:

NO! No chargen death or cheap twin brothers! Arkon shall beg the shopkeeper with all his begging might, for it is his life and the very glory of the mountainhome that now hang by a thread!
